Summary

Description
English: The U.S. Navy Clemson-class destroyer USS Edsall (DD-219) (misidentified as "HMS Pope") being sunk on 1 March 1942 south of Java. Imperial Japanese Navy warships, including battleships Kirishima and Hiei, resumed firing on the immobilized Edsall near Java on 1 March 1942 after the destroyer has been heavily damaged by carrier dive bombers. The destroyer sank moments later. A Japanese camera-man, probably on the cruiser Tone, filmed about 90 seconds of her destruction. A single frame from a film recorded from the deck of IJN cruise Tone was used as a propaganda photo later, misidentified as "the British destroyer HMS Pope". There was no HMS Pope. A USS Pope (DD-225) was sunk by air attack in the Second Battle of the Java Sea that same day but hundreds of miles away.
